Cover news for the
media

Good deal of
discretion to interpret stories

Can inject their
views into news stories

FDR and Kennedy were
well liked by the press

Got
favorable coverage

FDR
was never shown in a compromising position

Kennedy
opened up the White House to reporters

Nixon would not go
off script and answer questions

Would
claim he could not hear them

So
they often portrayed him as asleep and not involved

Conservatives often
found that reporters are liberal

Data
perhaps shows that many voted for democrats

Not
absolute

Most
try to maintain a balance

Some
conservative media

Rupert
Murdoch

Fox

Some presidents more
friendly during campaign

Rules
tighten as campaign goes on
